Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heating jackets, in particular to a pipeline anti-crystallization flexible heating jacket. Background Art

[0002] In industrial production, especially in the chemical, oil, and natural gas industries, piping systems are an indispensable component, fulfilling the critical task of material transportation. However, under certain operating conditions, such as low temperatures or when transporting easily crystallized media, the fluid inside the pipeline may crystallize, resulting in increased flow resistance or even complete blockage of the pipeline. To address this issue, various heating devices have emerged on the market to prevent crystallization, with heating jackets being a common solution and widely used. However, existing heating jacket designs have some issues that cannot be ignored.

[0003] Uneven heat conduction is a common problem. Because traditional heating jackets are typically made of single or multi-layer metal materials, with unevenly distributed heating elements or a single heating mode, this leads to uneven heat distribution, which in turn causes unstable temperature control within the pipe. This is especially true at pipe bends or locations where the diameter changes. Because the contact area and method in these areas differ from those in straight sections, temperature gradients can easily form, leading to localized overheating or insufficient heating. This temperature imbalance not only affects the fluidity of the medium within the pipe, but can also accelerate material aging and pose other safety risks.

[0004] The manufacturing process of existing heating jackets also has certain limitations. On the one hand, the degree of customization is not high, and many products are produced based on standard sizes, which cannot adapt well to the specific size and shape requirements of pipes in different application scenarios. On the other hand, the inconvenience of installation and disassembly is also a problem. In actual use, if the pipeline system needs to be maintained or the heating jacket needs to be replaced, the traditional fixing method often requires a lot of time and manpower costs, which undoubtedly increases the maintenance cost and time cost. In addition, due to the heavy weight of the heating jacket itself, its installation and disassembly are even more difficult for pipes in high altitudes or confined spaces.

[0005] With growing environmental awareness and increasing demands for energy efficiency, the energy consumption of traditional heated jackets has become increasingly prominent. Structural design flaws lead to significant heat loss, resulting in inefficient energy utilization. Over extended periods of operation, this not only wastes energy but also increases operating costs. Therefore, improving the thermal efficiency of heated jackets and reducing energy consumption has become a pressing technical challenge.

[0006] Therefore, how to provide a pipeline anti-crystallization flexible heating jacket is a problem that those skilled in the art urgently need to solve. Utility Model Content

[0025] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are simplified schematic diagrams that illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner.

[0026] Uneven heat conduction is a common problem. Because traditional heating jackets are typically made of single or multi-layer metal materials, with unevenly distributed heating elements or a single heating mode, this leads to uneven heat distribution, which in turn causes unstable temperature control within the pipe. This is especially true at pipe bends or locations where the diameter changes. Because the contact area and method in these areas differ from those in straight pipe sections, temperature gradients can easily form, leading to localized overheating or insufficient heating. This temperature imbalance not only affects the fluidity of the medium within the pipe, but may also accelerate material aging or cause other safety hazards.

[0027] The manufacturing process of existing heating jackets also has certain limitations. On the one hand, the degree of customization is not high, and many products are produced based on standard sizes, which cannot adapt well to the specific size and shape requirements of pipes in different application scenarios. On the other hand, the inconvenience of installation and removal is also a problem. In actual use, if the pipeline system needs to be maintained or the heating jacket needs to be replaced, the traditional fixing method often requires a lot of time and manpower costs, which undoubtedly increases maintenance costs and time costs. In addition, due to the heavy weight of the heating jacket itself, its installation and removal are even more difficult for pipes in high altitudes or confined spaces.

[0028] With the improvement of environmental awareness and the continuous improvement of energy efficiency requirements, the energy consumption problem of traditional heating jackets has become increasingly prominent; due to defects in their structural design, heat loss is large, which in turn leads to low energy utilization efficiency.

[0029] In order to solve the above problems, the following technical solutions are proposed:

The heat conducting frame 2.1 is conducive to the fixation of the heating wire 2.2 and the function of heat conduction. The heating assembly 2 also includes a heating wire 2.2, which is located between the insulating layer 1.2 and the thermal insulation layer 1.3.
